People say he wasn't a big deal for fans to get worked up about, but he seemed like a lower risk option than what Michigan is dealing with. I'll chalk it up to a Drevno transition cost.

Yeah...sumpn wasn't working with Drevno.  I listened to Sam's interview yesterday and Calvin Anderson seemed like a really bright kid with his head screwed on right. We will have to make do with what we have.  I'm sure hoping that Shea is able to play as I'm not convinced that Peters will take us to the promised land.  Perhaps if he weren't about to get killed on every play, things would improve, but Harbaugh was not in a hurry to put him in after Speight was injured.

Young and inexperienced, sure. But very talented.
JBB, Ulizio, and Runyan are known quantities with another summer to improve.
Filiaga, Hudson, Honigford, and Steuber are coming off redshirts. I don't think its likely that zero of those guys are ready to contribute.
Add in a coaching staff shakeup, and the proverbial light bulb is going to switch on for a couple of these guys. They'll be alright.

  • But the men's triumph came with an asterisk: The Soviets, three-time gold medalists, had boycotted the Games.

Any speculation or rumors on other graduate transfers?  If I remember correctly, there were some murmurs about a possible transfer from an SEC school.

Seemed like a smart kid in the Sam Webb interview, but a little strange that he insisted on making a point that proximity “had zero to do with his decision making process.” And he “couldn’t believe he had to keep answering that question.” Then he goes to Texas? Just weird, and further proof you can’t believe a word these kids say.

Both had good credentials coming to UM.  And, Bosch, Fox, Kalis, Kugler, Dawson, LTT, etc. were all great prospect that never panned out.  For whatever reason OL has been our achilles heel despite a bunch of quality prospects and coaches.  I think a lot of folks want to believe that and at times do, but have just seen too many disapointments.
